2016 WORCS UTV Racing Round #6 - Sand Hollow April 16, 2016 Hurricane, Utah

In Pro Stock, 15-year-old Corbin Leaverton recorded his ever first victory and his second podium of the season. He led every lap of the race and beat out Kaden Wells and Codey Rowley to net the victory. Points leader Ray Bulloch was sidelined at the start of the race with a mechanical problem.

After missing Lake Havasu, Leaverton’s win gave him a well needed boost in the points back into the top five. Kaden Wells scored his first podium finish of the season, which boosted him to second place in points ahead of former leader, Ray Bulloch. Rowley’s third place finish was his fifth straight this season, which has him leading the class now by an impressive 23 points heading into the final three rounds of the season.

Grounded 4's Corbin Leaverton secured his first Pro Stock SxS Win at Sand Hollow, which boosted him back into the top five in the points championship even after missing Lake Havasu

“I wasn’t at Havasu, so I’m glad to get back and get a win,” said Leaverton. “I just ran as hard as I could. Every time I try to save the car it breaks anyway, so I decided to just go for it. The dunes are really different than anything else we race on, but it was fun.”

Wells topped off a string of three fourth-place finishes to finish second. It marked his first podium of the season. “It was rough and windy, but we put it together,” said Wells. “I’ve finished fourth three races in a row, so to get on the podium is nice.”

Rugged Radio's Kaden Wells secured his first podium finish in 2nd place after finishing the last three races in 4th place, which now has him holding down the 2nd spot in points behind Codey Rowley

Rowley actually put himself at a disadvantage at the start of the race, running his car in two-wheel drive. Quickly noticing the issue, Rowley put it into four-wheel drive and drove through the field to finish third.

HOLZ Racing's Codey Rowley secured the final spot on the podium & he is the only Pro SXS Racer to finish on the podium every round this year so far, which shows some amazing consistency. Rowley now holds a 23 point lead over 2nd place in the championship points race

“I thought I had broken the front axles because everyone was passing me while I was going up the dunes,” said Rowley. “About halfway through the race, I realized my four wheel drive was off. So I switched it back on and drove through the field. I wouldn’t be here without Ray Bulloch. He’s my biggest competition and he loaned me a transmission so I could race. I have to thank him for that.”

The Pro SXS racers will have just over a month break from WORCS until Memorial Day weekend, May 27-29, at Iron Mine Raceway in Cedar City, UT.
